Hello everyone! It's me Linda, I have a challenge I hope you will like. So for this week's challenge I would like to see you pull out all your fun papers because you're going to need them. My challenge is called 3+1=cute. On your project or card, I would like to see you use 3 different PATTERNED papers and 1 SOLID (cardstock) paper. Not too tough right. I am looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

My name is Lynnda Hosni; although, my time is very limited, working mum and 2 boys! I am passionate about all crafty stuffs. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I am blissfully married to my supportive soul mate Fairuz and I have one cheeky 7 years old little boy, Matin.

Ever since I started this hobby, it has never been wronged! To me this craft hobby is the perfect combination of art, photography, beautiful papers and also a complete freedom to express myself! I did not realize that I do have this artsy hidden talent. Personally I think I have lots to learn and I love to incorporate new things on my layouts/cards or any other form of Arts. I don't think I have a fixed style, usually it evolved in time to time but one thing I am sure, I love colors! And lately, I love to include on recycled or upcycled items and tags on my project as well.

Thank you so much Kirsty and the girls over @ City Crafters for having me as the Guest Designer for week 133... I hope you girls will enjoy my cute little card.. hugs....xoxo

Did you ever look back at the work you created months ago, or years ago, and say to yourself "really? I make this?" It happened to me all the time, LOL! I think because we keep creating, and keep practicing, we get better each day without knowing it, and we do not like the old thing anymore, and thought we probably should add this, take away that, change this, move that, use a different paper to make it better, that's what my mind go through when I look back at my old work, so I thought, why not take one of old work and give it a MAKE OVER!

Get to know Barbara.....

Hi, my name is Barbara Daines, and I live in the UK, just outside of the world heritage City of Bath.I live with Alan, my (very understanding) partner of 20 years and our German Shepherd, Finn.2 handsome sons, and one gorgeous daughter-in-law live in Bath, and........our first grandchild is due in April.....mega excited.I've crafted all of my life, and have been papercrafting for 5 years. My styles have changed drastically over this time, and now I'm really into getting messy....Inks, stains, Pan Pastels etc (if you could see my fingers as I'm tying this, you'd know what I mean!)I was asked to take one of my own creations and do a makeover. I chose a card that I made and blogged on 19th September. I liked the card but wished I'd done a few things different.....so I have. Hope you like it.

Hi my name is Lizzi Droege and this is my second time to guest design with the wonderful girls at city crafter challenge blog. I am so honored and absolutely love the challenge. I have been making cards for about three years now and am absolutely addicted. I have three lovely daughters that I have raised on my own and they keep me very busy my youngest daughter just turned 17 oh my cannot believe that!! I live in upstate new york and just love the seasons and my address. I just heart the color pink and my style would be shabby vintage...as i love anything old, tattered and distressed. The pinwheels in my card are soooo very easy to make and really add a bit of whimsy to this wonderful challenge... Many heartfelt thanks to the girls at city crafter for bestowing this honor...

Hello everyone, my name is Michelle and I am french Canadian. I am so happy to be here as a guest designer on this great blog that is CCCB. I love paper crafting, scrapbooking, cards, stamping and a little bit of mixed media, I love to make my own paper flowers and ornaments too. I don’t think I have any particular style but I use a lot of ink in my projects. I really enjoy my handmade life. I love everything Vintage. Old books, frames, boxes, and when it is not old enough I age/distress it myself.
